Layering up in prints that steal each others' colour palettes is a pretty good way to beat any October blues that may be lurking. I can hardly believe that we're nearly halfway through the month and am currently experiencing that odd feeling of discontent and nostalgia all at the same time.

To match slightly melancholy morning feelings, I paired my faithful Zara shirt with this printed bomber jacket from Very. It is the perfect way to add a light layer to any outfit and has a zip if you so enjoy that look. Definitely requires a coat on top though - I added a navy duffle coat to this when I popped out for lunch with the sis. The Zara shirt is something I bought almost an entire year ago for my graduation, but I wear it more than most things in the wardrobe. Thumbs up for investment wardrobe buying'! Finally, my cigarette jeans from CHANEL are always a good choice to pull things together.

Over the weekend I went shopping with my sister -- mainly to pick up my copy of Pokemon X (absolutely addicted, hence the quieter Twitter feed from me) and shop for my cousin's 17th birthday gifts, but also to buy ridiculous autumnal essentials like tights, Christmas socks and leggings. I went to Miss Selfridge to try on the checked coat from last Friday's post, but actually in the end, it suited my little sister WAY more than me. Always the way, eh? We also went to see Romeo & Juliet and swooned a LOT over Ed Westwick at Thibault. I think tonight I'm going to kick back with the newest episode of We Got Married, start watching Yuru Yuri at long last and get some more hours down on Pokemon. How about you? x

We'd waited until the absolute last minute but it feels so good to have all the autumn/winter essentials down. Perfect for no-fuss dressing too! Thanks Winnie, they're pretty dreamy if I must say so myself! x

I'm jealous every time you get these jeans out. Weren't they some ridiculous car boot find or something as well?! And I use "investment wardrobe buying" as an excuse every time I buy something from Zara heh. Note to self: must get into prints.

Thanks lovely! The moment I opened the package, I knew I needed to style the two together. Ooh it was amazing - nothing beats cosy shopping right?! The practical bits that don't ever see real light? ;) xx

everything you put on seems so effortless! bet even on your very lazy days, you look great! ive been debating on whether to get the pokemon x/y which would mean id need to get the 3ds. last pokemon game ive played was the crystal version. many generations behind!

Thanks Nicol! I never put too much effort into the ol' outfit shenanigans. Usually whatever I can find in arm's reach :P I would highly recommend it - got another post about my 3DS XL and current game switch-out coming up! x
